    voting for someone in an election is absolutely a show of support for that person. voting anything other than a third party candidate makes you complicit in genocide imo

      Advocating that people vote third party supports genocide more than quietly voting for Biden because you increase the probability of more genocide, while voting for Biden decreases the probability of more genocide.

        This relies on the assumption that Trump wants to commit more genocide.

        I don’t think Trump will enable more genocide in Gaza than Biden. In fact, I think Trump will withdrawal all support for Ukraine and Israel to focus on starting to genocide the Chinese.

          So, in other words, you’re saying that Trump wants to commit more genocide, and the assumption is correct?

        Voting for someone actively supporting genocide is less genocidal than voting for someone who advocates for ending genocide? Y’all got some serious mental gymnastics going on

          Fortunately you have to be a US citizen to vote in the election, so we don’t have to worry about your opinion.

            it’s important that I’m wrong.

            that feeling is called cognitive dissonance.

            you can’t argue with my actual points because you know they make sense. but I have to be wrong. it’s important that I’m wrong.

            you need to preserve your ego.

            that’s what makes you feel that way.

            let go. admit when you’re wrong. and do the right thing!

                i’m actively encouraging people to vote, not dissuading. and your elections affect lots of countries beyond the us, you realise that right?

                you’re probably the exact same kind of guy who says stuff like “russians haven’t deposed putin yet so they’re complicit” but when it comes to biden they act like oh it’s not an endorsement to vote for him
